The History of Literature Podcast is a member of the Podglamorate Network and LIT Hub Radio.

Hello, picture the scene.

It's a quiet afternoon at the Jack Wilson Studios and suddenly an email falls into the inbox.

It's from a previous guest asking if we might be interested in his latest topic, a book he's written about a

philosophical filmmaker named Alejandro Jodorovsky.

I'm interested in anything that interests this guest and I'm interested in philosophy and in filmmaking so of course I agree but the name bothers me

Hodorovsky.

Hodorovsky, that is not someone I'm familiar with.

But why does that name sound so familiar?

And then it hits me.

I am familiar with him, and his story is one of the wildest stories I've encountered.

Hodorovsky, as explained by William Eggington, today on the history of literature.

Okay, here we go. Welcome to the podcast everyone. We will get straight to it. I'll tell you about

Odorovsky and how I knew about him. And then we'll have Bill Eglinton explain why

Oterovsky's films are interesting to him from a philosophical perspective.

And then we'll cap things off with a my last book from, let's see, how about David Sterling Brown?

That was another sweet response.

This little question really brings out interesting answers each and every time.

So one more bit of business before we get to the philosopher slash filmmaker, we have an email from listener Rowan who writes hello Jack. I'm a new

listener by way of my husband who discovered your podcast last year after we had a conversation that went like this.

Me, after you finish a book, do you ever look up author interviews or book discussions?

I just finished Kazuo Ishiguros, Clara and the Sun.
